I never expected a place as untamed as Palermo within Europe. What a joyous discovery. There is so much too see and going on – I felt like a child in a candy shop.

For our first family only holiday we went to Sicily. Neither of us has been there before. It is a beautiful and wild place. We will definitely be back to explore more parts of this intriguing island

Sorry or as Harper would say – “Souwy”

I have lots of new photographs to upload but no time to do so, but I am looking forward to publish them here very soon. Until then enjoy the summer a bit more.

Here a summery photo of Harper Lily taken this morning.

In the mood to party?

I was shooting a wedding in North Yorkshire last weekend. One of things that blew my mind is the passion with which these guests took to dancing. It was a long day and I felt tired once the last official shots where taken but then I got totaly lost in photographing the dancing – it just was a lot of fun.

More on this wedding later – for now just a few dancing shots.

My aim was to photograph some genuine emotional moments, interesting caracters and to capture some good crowd photographs. Here is my selection.

Photostory on the Royal Wedding Preparations

claudialeisinger — Tue, 03 May 2011 20:34:39 +0000

My piece on the Royal Wedding preparations – photos and text- is published in this weeks Big Issue – have a look if you can.

A part from that I have lots of photos to edit from my last trip to Switzerland and the streetphotos I took during the actual Royal Wedding day – so I will put my head down for the next couple of nights and work.

And because life is often about discoveries and making connections – here a few of the best moments in Switzerland.

Listening to the different sound ones own voice makes when in a bucket.

Playing with light.

The death of Tim Hetherington has triggered an avalanche of thoughts and feelings in me about what is really important in life. I am at a loss to express how sad it is that we have lost someone so dedicated to humanity and so brilliant at communicating visually what he felt was important.
